Air flow method
Erasmusstarted grow question 5 years ago
I removed the hood from the home AC to run cold air directly into the grow tent with a 4 inch duct at the bottom. I have an inline fan to push hot air out to balance out the air pressure at the top.
Is this a good idea or should I just have a fan inside with no in or out?

Hey buddy, I’ve done exactly the same like you do.I take my inhale air directly from my AC and exhaust with two 6 inches fan.It will greatly lower the temp in the tank.Also don’t forget to put another fan in your grow tent for air circulation around the plant.Happy growing..

what @ Bloombuster said is right! Hot air goes up, so if you put cold air in, put it in the floor level, so it will pass thru the whole tent until it leaves on the top of the tent!

Привет, бро! 👋
Всё нормально, идея хорошая! Но ввод свежего воздуха в палатку необходимо соединять внизу....... так свежесть будет идти от растения к лампам и выходить наружу сверху! Теплый воздух всегда стремиться вверх, бро! 👆
Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Also another thing, you are wrong with your inhale line.Inhale line must be at the bottom because cold air stay low.And exhaust hot air from top.Happy growing..

This should work fine as long as the temps don’t get too cold when the lights turn off! I have a very similar setup & it works great! Plants are looking great! Hope this helps, happy growing!✌️🏼🌱

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.Setup. Ventilation

Maintaining VPDI've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?Setup. Ventilation

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?Setup. Ventilation

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it?
